Anime Iowa 2008

The convention weekend was shitty at first. Saturday my crown clown costume was fucking up everywhere. My button popped off for no reason at all, it wasn't even tight against my body or anything, then the collar ripped a seam and almost broke off, and finally the cross on the handle of my sword fell off somewhere during the convention and I ended up getting super pissed because of it. Lol. Although all that crap happened, thankfully a couple friends made the weekend a blast.

I haven't had so much fun in a long time. I dunno what it was, but at Anime Iowa I had so much fun I forgot what it was like to be alive! Made me realize I shouldn't stress out so much in life, and I feel like I'm going to make some changes with my life. I am considering getting a new job (one that I won't get loads of stress everyday), and concentrate a lot more on school. Hopefully my hair will stop falling out. Lol! I think what made my weekend so awesome were because my friends were hilarious all weekend, and my cousin for once didn't piss me off all weekend. That's really rare because he always pisses me off badly during conventions. Maybe because I didn't see him that much the whole time? I thank all my friends that I went with! And I thank a new awesome friend Courtney! I had a ton of fun and if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have competed in the contest and talked to you so much, nor would I have had half as much fun as I did! It was an awesome time. Thanks! ^-^!! Oh yes, and I'd like to mention that Courtney and I won awards at the Anime Iowa cosplay contest. Courtney won Best Button Creation, and later we both unknowingly won the Best Uniforms award! Woo! I was shocked a 2nd award was announced with our title. XD

Starting some time soon, I'm going to begin my plan on making a couple of new costumes for the last quarter of the year, and gain more experience for 2009. I plan on getting a lot better for next year and impress everyone I know. I think next year will be a big year for my cosplaying. I have a good feeling I'm going to advance in skill level and make a lot of amazing costumes to compete in the contests of the conventions I'm planning on attending.
